BRAINSTORMING: THINKING OUT OF THE BOX

Our species got ahead of all others on earth by virtue of our constant innovations to adapt to new environments. The ability to think out of the box is still one of the most important factors determining our success in the modern world.

Today, we’re going to practice thinking out of the box, and — this is important — communicating our novel ideas to others. The communication part is important because what good does it make if you cannot get other people to be excited by your ideas, and then help you realizing them?

Brainstorming Game 1 (1 hour)

In this game you’re going to practice brainstorming individually and explaining your ideas to others.

Brainstorming Game 2 (1 hour)

In this game you’re going to practice brainstorming both individually and collectively, explaining your ideas to your group, and finally preparing a smashing group presentation! :-)
